Best Spanish Restaurants in Rego Park

I usually only write reviews with complaints. However, the dining experience last night at Chez Fifi was the opposite: perfection! No, I am not a planted reviewer! But with a just opened restaurant that one would expect some startup issues, and very little info on the internet, my expectation was far exceeded. The roast chicken dinner was perfectly cooked. The accompanying potatoes were among the best I have ever tasted. In a really nice setting, and the dessert served upstairs in the lounge, I have no complaints...just how to secure another reservation in the future.

The service made up for the food. It was very disappointing. Out of the four of us, only one ate most of his food because frankly he eats everything. The rest of us packed most of our food to go despite the fact that we were hungry. The issues varied from dry chicken, undercooked and under seasoned meet. How can you have a soupy yet dry paella. This tells me the rice was cooked recently but the seafood was reheated. Again, lacked flavor. We wish the food matched the atmosphere.

Good vibe, nice ambience and delicious food. I’ve been to different Boqueria locations in NYC, but this is my first time at UES. We went for brunch during Xmas week, had a pleasant experience and enjoyed our food very much. Service was good, it’s definitely a reliable joint for tapas/spanish food.

So you’re not actually reserving a table on this app. You’re just securing your entrance. The cover fee is 20 a person and we realized we weren’t actually going to have a table once we got there. It was packed with people, and there were hardly any available tables (which are first come first serve apparently) because of course the people that arrived earlier hadn’t left yet. Food and drinks are pricey, although very tasty. There are two levels and both are decorated nicely and lean into the nostalgia of noche buena.

Excellent food and even better service! Highly recommend Pil Pil for a fun dinner sharing many different plates
